As your muscles call for more oxygen (as much as 15 times more oxygen than when you're at rest), your breathing rate increases. Once the muscles surrounding your lungs cannot move any faster, you've reached what's called your VO2 maxâyour maximum capacity of oxygen use. The higher your VO2 max, the fitter you are.
Tingling in the Fingers as a Symptom of Neck Pain. 1  Numbness or tingling in the fingers that occurs simultaneously with neck pain is a sign of problems with the nerves within the cervical spine. 2  Many conditions can cause problems in the cervical spine, and they can irritate or impede nerves to the hands and fingers.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The most common cause of tingling and numbness to the thumb, index and middle finger is carpal tunnel syndrome. Carpal tunnel syndrome refers to a problem related to compression of the median nerve at the level of the wrist. A thick ligament called the carpal ligament forms the roof of the carpal canal. The flexor tendons and the median nerve run through the carpal canal. Increased carpal canal pressure produced by thickening of the tissues in the carpal canal or by wrist movements or finger bending can increase pressure on the median nerve.
